How you cascade the training webinar is completely down to you. Behaviour, inclusion and safeguarding staff from three high schools and three primary schools helped create the final version of the webinar. They also provided suggestions of ways they intended to cascade the webinar to all their staff which included:

show it at a staff briefing
play it during a staff training session
don't play it, but use the power point slides to present it in a way suited to their school
play it at the start of a longer training day, to allow for discussion and planning
show to all SLT to start with to plan a cascade approach

The webinar creators are:

Philippa La Roux, senior specialist educational psychologist

Audience: All adults who work or volunteer in a school.
